Dialog Profound Market Research Profile

Dialog Profound delivers the most pertinent market research, country and company reports to strategic and tactical decision-makers in more than 700 industry segments. One of those segments is the retail market. In an ongoing effort to inform Dialog customers of the unique market research assets available with Dialog Profound and the market research firms with whom we partner, we are pleased to profile the premier research firm covering retailing in the United Kingdom and Europe, Verdict Research of London.

Unlike other market sectors, retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and those in related industries had, until recently, fared quite well in spite of a tough trading climate. However, 2003 has gotten off to a difficult start for retailers and now, more than ever, retailers and those involved in this industry require in-depth analysis and opinions from leading experts to address concerns.

Verdict has partnered with Dialog since 1999, to provide world-class retail market research, analysis and opinion to thousands of users. Verdict Research has at its core, a level of expertise in all factors affecting retailing. Their analysts and consultants are retail experts, offering in-depth, accurate analysis of the key players and trends that can play a role in the success or failure of all aspects of retailing. In fact, Verdict's experts are so well respected that they have been quoted in trade magazines and national newspapers every week of the year for the last 20 years, regarding issues surrounding retailing in the U.K. and throughout Europe.

One of the most unique research offerings is Verdict's Retail Sector Reports on retail market segments including DIY; Footwear; Groceries; Homewares; Personal Care; women's, men's, children's and the value clothing markets; music and video; and health and beauty. Another key source of valuable, premium information available to Dialog Profound users is Verdict's Executive Summary reports. An Executive Summary is a discrete report that features top line summaries of the latest developments in each retail sector. Other reports include: How Britain Shops, an analysis of the results of 6,000 consumer interviews; Forecasting reports providing five-year market sizing forecasts and five year's of trend data for ten sectors including Food & Groceries, Clothing & Footwear, Furniture & Floor coverings, DIY & Gardening, and Homewares; Location issues such as the physical and non-physical aspects of retailing; Strategic issues such as the changing nature of retailing in the U.K.; and Retail Verdict, an events-driven, concise monthly newsletter covering all parts of retail.
